My 5-day silent remote retreat with Piero and Knellee was excellent for many reasons. The structure of the retreat was conducive to creating a safe, peaceful, supported place to journey inward, while staying connected to the other participants and teachers. The lecture topics further reinforced the lessons to be learned, and I valued the different perspectives of the teachers. The opportunity to ask questions and hear other's experiences throughout the retreat was beneficial. I felt we maximized the benefits of being remote and minimized the limitations. I've gained a new appreciation for the various opportunities to practice, my purpose and the mindful living guideposts. What a ride! Thank you.

I just finished Mindful Leader’s online 5 day silent retreat led by Piero and Knellee and it was incredible. It was a challenging but absolutely rewarding personal journey into a fully immersed mindfulness experience led by two compassionate and passionate teachers. I learned so much from Piero and Knellee and from myself during this unique experience. I highly recommend the course and the teachers for anyone looking to make mindfulness a part of their lives. Don’t hesitate at all! Thank you Piero and Knellee!

Well structured very compassionate hosts providing great guidance and using memorable examples , poetry, or metaphors to make their point. There was ample time for participant- guide feedback but no distrackting cross talk. The zoom platform works though bandwidth was an occasional issue. I wonder if google or Microsoft platforms might be more stable? All participants seemed to get more than they had expected and were pleased. And our hosts seem to be genuinely lovely well versed people. Bill Shea MD

Having attended two in-person retreats with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Will Kabat-Zinn, I found the framework of the 5-day on-line silent meditation retreat adaptive of the one-day on-line silent meditation retreat from the 8 week MBSR course. The Instructors, Piero and Knellee, emphasized important elements of MBSR training that built on the foundations of the 8-week course allowing for the deepening of practice. I particularly responded to the silent meditation periods, the infusion of poetry, and the opportunity to journal and practice on my own. Thank you for this precious time!

The honesty and gentle guiding of the instructor set the tone for a fruitful experience. He referred to a "mindfulness switch" often, which gave me an excellent tool to use on my journey. Presenting different meditation styles set a pace that was kind and interesting. I walked away from this experience realizing that it's ok to be where I'm at.

The silent retreat brought all the practices we have learned through Mindful Leader to full practice. My retreat leader Piero led the retreat with such great compassion, knowledge, and skill I fully gained a new understanding to improve my mindfulness practice and my life. I wish I could experience the retreat again and again.

This mindfulness class came at the right time for me. I enjoyed all of the classes and meeting all of the people. Piero is a fantastic teacher who is structured. This class taught me to slow down and smell the roses. To pay attention to the present moment. It helped me snap out of robotic mode. I highly recommend it!

What a beautiful, restful, enlightening day. I enjoyed it extremely and it deepened my practice.
